Book Signings
Sat., Jan. 14 - 7 PM
Author and Adjunct Professor of Anthropology at Flathead Valley Community College, E. B. Eiselein will do a power point presentation on Montana's Indian History, Saturday, January 14 at 7:00 p.m. at the Grizzly Claw Trading Company. This presentation, based on Indian oral traditions and the archaeological record, will describe Indian cultures prior to European contact. The presentation starts by looking at the archaeological Clovis culture (the Mammoth hunters who inhabited Montana at the end of the ice ages some ten thousand years ago) and then talks about the various migrations into and out of Montana by tribes such as the Kiowa, Cheyenne, Sioux, and Crow and will look at the impact of the horse on the Great Plains tribes.
Writing under his Indian name Speaks Lightning, E. B. Eiselein has produced 20 books dealing with various aspects of Indian culture, history, and spirituality. His books about Montana's Indian nations include Montana's Indian Cultures and Indian Montana: A Winter Count. Eiselein received a Ph. D. In Anthropology from the University of Arizona. He is of Canadian Anishinabe descent.
